Wow that place is about 10 miles from me. I'm almost tempted to go dig thru their trash ;)

A fix for right now http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1602482&posted=1#post1602482 Or according to CoFF it will be fixed tomorrow on the ED servers

You still dont get it. Take the time to see what Helios can do because at this point your clueless and too pigheaded to even take the help from people that are giving it to you when you ask. You can use helios to control your panel and get all the switches to do exactly what you want. Helios is more than just a touchscreen program that runs virtual panels. It will run all your REAL switch panels also!!! You add your card to the helios profile you create, ...each one of your switches will show up in the interface, you then bind all your switches to do what function you want. Hell you can use it just for those 2 switches only and let DCS control the others if you want. The only extra step you will add to your gaming is to fire up helios and run your profile before you start A10C. Helios will run in the background ...in your setup you will never see it.

Why are you ignoring the other questions and suggetions I made? Why can't you try the easy route first (Helios or Hawgtouch) where people smarter than you and I have already done all the scripting/coding and put it into an easy user interface? You ask if can I do the scripting for you....nope. I've never taken the time to learn it because there are easier ways to do what you want on the back of others hard work. (though I did make a rather hefty donation for Helios) You have to accept the fact that what you want will not be done in the DCS control options page and that an alternate plan is the only way for it to work. There are many threads in these forums that can help you along but i'll concede that it is a tough search. My suggetion at this point is for you to put the bong down and do some work yourself and not expect us to hand feed it all to you. I/We have made suggetions try them please.

Here is a 3 page thread related to this already. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=93477

I know exactly what you want. You have not taken the time to even look at Helios or even hawgtouch have you? It is very possible that it will work for you. Its free to download and try..then donationware if you continue to use it. How about some details about your button panel? What kind of output card are you using for it? Is it homemade, Bodnar, G-wiz??? Like you said these items are not available options in the keybindings page but there are other ways to get the functionality that you are looking for. Helios and Hawgtouch are ways to get what you want. Other ways are to learn Lua scripting yourself. All the info you need about buttons and switch functions are in the clickabledata.lua file which can be found in the scripts folder of the aircraft you are wanting to script for. Below is the device data for your 2 functions. Using that info below you can use .lua scripting to make the switch function as you desire. If you cant do that your options fall into using Helios or hawgtouch. -- Emergency Jettison Button elements["PTR-EXT-STORES-JETT"] = default_button(_("Emergency Jettison External Stores"),devices.IFFCC,device_commands.Button_1,101) = {class = {class_type.TUMB,class_type.TUMB}, hint = _("Aerial Refueling Slipway Control Lever") , device = devices.FUEL_SYSTEM, action = {device_commands.Button_16,device_commands.Button_16},arg = {121,121}, arg_value = {1,-1}, arg_lim = {{0,1},{0,1}},updatable = true, gain = {0.1,0.1},animated = {true,true},animation_speed = {5.0,-5.0},cycle = true} --Fuel Quantity Indicator and Selector

You ever see if Helios will recognize your switches? If it does then you can do what you want just using Helios. http://www.gadrocsworkshop.com/

Im pretty sure it was PeterP that posted the fix for this somewhere. Search his name for posts he has made and you will find it. Or basiclly you just need to go into the the appropriate KA50 viewport xxx_init.lua file and make sure that the line labled "Try_find_assigned_viewport" does not have entries that conflict with any other xxx_init.lua files. For example the Shkval_init.lua line 18 might say: try_find_assigned_viewport("Left_MFCD") The words "Left_MFCD" conflict with the A10c MFCD_init.lua that also says Left_MFCD. The fix for this conflict would be to rename the left_mfcd in the shkval_init.lua to something like "Shkval" like this: try_find_assigned_viewport("Shkval") now in your monitor config.lua you would have something like this: Shkval = { x = 764; y = 1152; width = 470; height = 350; } Here is my monitor config showing all the exports that I use and their names:

All you had to really was copy those folders in the backup folder to your DCS folder and everthing would have worked. Helios itself only modifies the export.lua. Your backup folder will contain very little as it is related to Helios. It may only be a few files in the backup folders depending on how many exports you are using. So...what i'm trying to say here is you should have listened to Sci2 and just copied those folders from the backup.000 folder and all will be well again. It really is just that simple...too bad you ignored his help.

GOOGLE is your friend. He gave you all the info you really needed to find out what this stuff is that he is using.

Loz's panels do have one typo. On the Enviroment panel it says "Flow Fuel" on the lower left knob it should be "Flow Level"

Question: did you add the a10 interface to Loz's profile after you had the profile open in the Helios profile editor? If so and my memory may be failing me but I think there is a bug in Helios that if you add the interface when a profile is loaded in the editor it will erase all the bindings.. Does anyone remember this? Another question.... In the profile you uploaded here did you copy and paste the adi from another profile or did you start from scratch?

yup no bindings with the setup you provided....that would definatley make the gauge not work

My 670gtx 4gb is running 4 monitors on 1 card. It can be had for around $400 these days.

The dcs a10 interface in Helios needs to be the first thing added in the profile. As In Before any gauges are added. Otherwise nothing will work.

Look in your dcs root folder there is a folder named backup.xxx that will have all your modded files. Just copy and paste those files back to their correct locations and all will be fine.

I get between 30-60 fps depending what is happening on screen. I run with Vsync on so 60 will always be the max. It does drop to the teens when a Cbu87 or CBU103 is dropped but other than that its smooth as butter. I run a resolution of 4080x2160 and export about 10 items to 3 of my screens. Here is a quick video of my setup. You can see at the beginning and end the smoothness of the main view.

I went from 2 460's running 4 monitors to 1 670gtx 4GB running the same 4 monitors and got a huge improvement. Was definately worth the money.

This is the path for the World A10C scripts: x:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\A-10C\Cockpit\Scripts This is the path you need to use in Helios to get the export.lua to be written using the "setup" button: x:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\ Make sure that the Helios editor is running in administrator mode also.

Ok...I guess i oversimplified it. But in my case the only files modded are my files for exporting viewports (10 of them in my setup) and the view.lua. So I am not too concerned with breaking the patch.

I don't see the big issue here. I have a bunch of modded files. When the autoupdate is done DCS creates a "backup.000" folder in the DCS World folder. In there you will find all your modded files in their correct folders. I just copy and paste all of these folders into the DCS World directory and POOF i'm done and back to where I was before the update.

Anyone notice we got another update? Build 1.2.1.6148 just updated on my computer.

I run everything on high. I run at a resolution of 4080x2160. I export MFD's, cmsc, cmsp, clock, CDU, UHF preset, RWR, UHF Frequency and the preset on the UHF radio control head. All of these exports run to 3 touchscreens separate from my main screen. I use Helios and am using windowed mode and get in excess of 40+fps with a slight dip into the 30's when explosions are going off. Load times are way better with this update. Great Job ED no complaints here at all!
